We are delighted to be supporting the Dundee Volunteer Awards through our sponsorship of the award for Trustee/Board Member of the Year. The winner of this category will be presented at the award ceremony on Thursday 7 June at The Quay, City Quay in Dundee along with five other awards.
Alastair Keatinge, Partner and Head of our Charity and Third Sector group, was invited to be a member of the awards panel which assessed the nominees. Alastair will introduce and present the award to the winner of this category at the awards ceremony.
Alastair commented, “It was very encouraging to see the high standard of entries for the awards. However, while it was challenging to separate some of the nominations, we did manage to select a clear winner of the award for Trustee/Board Member of the Year.
“I frequently see the difference that it can make to an organisation when they have people in this role who demonstrate excellent leadership and understand good governance in the third sector. Charities would struggle to deliver the much needed services they provide without the work done by trustees and board members.”
This event was established to recognise and reward the dedication and hard work of Dundee’s volunteers and those who support them. Awards will also be presented to Volunteer of the Year, Volunteer Team of the Year, Kathryn Mackenzie Make a Difference Award, Volunteer Manager / Co-ordinator of the Year and Lifetime Achievement Award.
